WoWInterface Pick of the Week for 11/30

EasySerum

Are you an alchemist? Does the Troll Patrol: The Alchemist's Apprentice daily quest make your head spin trying to find everything? Want to make it easier and find the ingredients faster? Then try out EasySerum. Every time Alchemist Finklestein whispers you with an ingredient, this addon will print a message into your chat log telling you where to find it.

The addon should post the information in /yell, so that everyone knows the owner is too stupid for this quest...

Ah, so you never use anything to make something a bit easier, even though you could have managed without?

Good for you!

Hmm, cool. It's not a very profitable 'daily chain' though, so I doubt I will doing it anymore now that I'm exalted with the Argent crusaders.

I wrote down a list alphabetically of all the items on a post-it note, and where I could find it. It really isn't too hard without a list either, but you'd mess up if you run into the wrong room for certain reagents that are only on one side. This would indeed be easier than searching for the name in a self-written list.

Nice ideal. Actually this gives me a good idea for an addon even if I cannot write them. >< A search feature! Tells you where the item you are looking for is in your bags.

Almost all inventory addons have bag-searcher.

About addon: very strange aim, ppl must try to remember themself, but actually for pa'troll daily it's perfect.

this quest makes me feel like a lab rat and it is very annoying even knowing by now where almost all the stupid ingredients are ...Cool addon even if it does hold your hand the whole way. I can see this helping me out since I like to do dailies when I can't give 100% attention to the game.

I do rank this quest up there as one of the most annoying new dailies you can do though, the 2nd would probably be breaking the blockade only because of how long it takes to wait on the zeppelin to dock and leave..

I don't know. I like the idea, but couldn't the addon do something similar to color-coding, as in coloring the slot you need a certain color...or highlighting it? But that is just my suggestion, if it's even possible to do (legally speaking or technically).

I guess the best way to this addon would be to:

Have a mini-minimap that shows you the location of each ingredient you need to add - of course the maps will have to be handmade.

Similarly to the first idea, have a basic guide (left/right, 1/2/3/4 case) and then a picture of a case, with flashing/colorful prettu picture on the place where the actual item is.

But yea, I was so expecting this one to show up... It's an addon that was totally being called for.
